I've read everything written by Jane Austen, delved into many more classics written in the 1800's so I'm going to dig deep to see what I have that is more than 100 years old that I own already, which I haven't read yet.

I have wanted to read A Picture of Dorian Gray for a long time. Maybe I will for this week.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 695 comments Let me know how that is if you read it Tracy. I have been thinking about getting that one sometime.

It's supposed to be a little dark Sylvia, at least for the time period. I started it once but didn't get very far and I can't remember why I stopped. Maybe I can pick it back up again.

Sara | 1037 comments I think maybe I'll read A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens if i have the time. There are a couple others I have but I've been wanting to read this one since I saw the play. It was so good.

I've read nothing and haven't read a thing in nearly a few weeks blah. Still trying to read an ARC though very unsuccessful because by the time I sit down on the couch or in bed I end up falling asleep…so exhausted!
